Technical Abstract

An intelligent determination of code change review assignments and subsequent secured access to the determined assignments. Code changes undergo code change complexity determination which is based on (i) a level of importance of the module(s) in which the changes occur, (ii) the volume of metadata files impacted by the code changes, and (iii) the dependency of the code changes on external modules. A distributed trust computing network is implemented and a code change smart contract which relies on smart contract rules is used to determine and allocate code change review assignments. In this regard, data blocks within a distributed ledger define individual segments/portions of the code change file with each data block identifying a code change review assignment.

Patent Claims
6 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

5

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the code change compliance engine is a self-learning engine configured to identify addition of new modules to the computing application and updated or new coding standards.

6

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the code change complexity engine is further configured to determine at least one (i) a quantity of code review assignments for the code change file, and (ii) a type of code reviewer for the code review assignment.

8

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the code assignment smart contract is configured to execute the logic in the smart contract based on a plurality of smart contract rules, wherein the plurality of smart contract rules include one or more of (i) a rule associated with a history of the objects and classes in the computer application, (ii) a rule based on a complexity of the code changes, (iii) a rule based on the dependency of the modules in the computer application to other external modules in other external computing applications, and (iv) a rule based on code change types being a basis for code review assignment.

9

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer application is further defined as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application.

15

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of smart contract rules include one or more of (i) a rule associated with a history of the objects and classes in the computer application, (ii) a rule based on a complexity of the code changes, (iii) a rule based on the dependency of the modules in the computer application to other external modules in other external computing applications, and (iv) a rule based on code change types being a basis for code review assignment.

19

19. The computer program product of claim 16, further comprising sixth set of codes for causing a computer to determine, based on the complexity value, at least one (i) a quantity of code review assignments for the code change file, and (ii) a type of code reviewer for the code review assignment.
